Juanma Moreno of the People's party is so set to secure an absolute majority in Andalusia, according to first results and announced earlier by Sigma Dos exit poll for 'Canal Sur'. The PSOE, by contrast, has struggled to attract votes.
The PP would take between 56 and 59 seats, roughly matching the 58 they held in the outgoing parliament and above the 55 needed for an absolute majority. If confirmed, Moreno would govern alone for another four years, without having to sit down to negotiate with anyone.
The first results give PSOE, led in Andalusia by María Jesús Montero, between 26 and 29 seats, below the current 30, which were already the worst result in the party's history in a region it ran for almost four decades in a row. Montero, who entered the campaign while still serving as finance minister, appears not to have managed to stem the haemorrhage.
Vox would remain largely unchanged, on between 13 and 15 seats compared with the 14 it holds now, without growing enough to be decisive. To its left, the Por Andalucía alliance would be hovering around 5 or 6 seats, practically the same as now, while the surprise of the night could be Adelante Andalucía, which would go from 2 seats to between 4 and 5 representatives. These are the figures from a poll, not final results, but the direction of travel is very clear.
